[Qgis-user] Installing plugins offline

[Claire McIntyre]

Hello, 

I need to install plugins offline. I have read in posts to download from web & unzip to qgis\python\plugins

I have done this and the plugins are visible when I go to Manage Plugins. 

When I check the plugin to enable it I get an error. I suspect the file are in the correct place but not registered/installed correctly. 

Other posts are saying QGIS must be connected to the internet, there is no way round.. 

I am using QGIS 1.8 on windows. 

Anyone know how I can get this working?

Thanks, 
Claire
